Caerphilly Women in Business Award for coffee shop
As reported in the South Wales Argus, things are going very nicely for Esher Apoussidis, thank you very much. The business lady from the Blackwood area has had great success with her recent endeavour – a coffee shop which goes by the name of Coffee Continental.
The coffee shop was opened in September last year in Marketplace and already Mrs Apoussidis has been awarded the Caerphilly Women in Business Award for her enterprise. This shrewd business lady has used quality of product to woo customers into the shop. Apparently, Coffee Continental has over 20 coffee blends and a menu of various paninis from around the world. Mrs Apoussidis has also tailored her menus as a result of her market research with customers, listening to their likes and dislikes and suggestions. This, of course, is the essence of a good business – to focus and adapt to customer tastes and demands.
Mrs Apoussidis has been reported as enjoying baking and her spouse is also experienced in managing a restaurant – both skills are useful in running the new Coffee Continental successfully. This is no mean feat, incidentally, as the couple have three children and Mrs Apoussidis also does some part-time work in information technology.
Not content with her award, Mrs Apoussidis also won the second prize in another category – the Keeping Up Appearances category. This award looks at businesses which have improved the cleanliness of the environment.
Coffee Continental is obviously on the up and up…
